After all the threats that Labour was supporting Scottish independence from Tory campaigns, i do find it peculiar that they would risk destroying 20 years of good faith in Ireland on Brexit and then ending neutrality by siding with one side over the other...

Strange huh, not very unionist in retrospect.

The penny just dropped, Ruth Davidson is in a same sex relationship and very pro LGBT, there is no way on earth a DUP agreement will sit well with her considering their out dated mindset.
Yep, and she's marrying an Irish Catholic in a church! The DUP is anathema to her.May is finished.

And Davidson would have to out herself as Scottish and not British to stand up to the "UK" Tories........she'll be slapped down before that happens

she's going to look like a kitchen devils knife block by the start of next week. The 1922 comittee will beat her arse purple, Davidson is going to do a hatchet job on her and I can see Johnson hatching some kind of ming the merciless coup. Add to that the questionable legality around using the DUP to give her power and this gets all very flakey
Talking to DUP seriously ****** off Ruth Davidson this morning.....

not really, she could just vote against the whip when it comes to the queens speech and round up her other MPs to do the same. Which with 12 MP's is enough to effectively unseat May from her "iron throne" and maybe be enough to call a vote of no confidence and thus another election.

This is where we get to see who the conviction politicians are v the shills.

I can't see that happening.

They'll give it a go. The LGBTI stuff is largely irrelevant; there's more than enough support on the opposition benches to nullify the DUP's wishes. The problems would only come if the DUP tried to bully concessions out of the Tory Party on such matters.
